I've been immersed in the world of intellectual property for most of my life. As an Examiner at the European Patent Office I have examined and studied many thousands of inventions which makes dealing with new ideas second nature.

I'm specialised in mechanical and medical device technology. Particularly in serving clients in the agricultural, medical, textile, oil exploration and consumer products segments. I enjoy being involved in challenging opposition cases where my knowledge of patent office procedures can often give an edge over the adversary.

I'm a qualified European and British patent attorney and I also advise on design protection and the use of trademarks in optimally exploiting IP portfolios. I'm fluent in English, Dutch, Spanish, French and German and have extensive experience in facilitating business and conducting negotiations in an international context.
